Along with my countdown of top 365 songs, I'll be running a band/artist of the week countdown as well. This list is also based on my Last.fm charts: it's my top 52 artists (as of January 3rd 2015).
30. The Doors

Jim Morrison's lyrics and stage presence, Ray Manzarek's melodies, Robby Krieger's songwriting… The Doors was a magical and crucial band in the evolution of rock music. And of course Morrison was one of the greatest frontmen in rock 'n' roll, who sadly died at the age of 27.
